Good news for Delhi citizens. Delhi has come out of the bad name of the’Worst Polluted City’ in the world. According  to data released by World Health Organisation (WHO), Delhi is only at the 11th position in World. It is below in pollution to Gwalior (2nd), Allahabad(3rd), Patna(6th) and Raipur(7th). Zabol in Iran is the most polluted in the world at No.1.
AAP Government in Delhi deserves appreciation and support in reducing pollution through its manyfold actions, though  BJP, Congress, private car manufacturers and some interested parties have criticised the moves for their own self interest. They should understand that health of citizens are more important than either their political or profit concerns.

While the central trade unions have demanded Rs.18,000 as minimum wage for contract workers, government arbitrarily announced that it will be Rs.10,000. In the meantime, India Inc cried fowl stating that it can not pay this  ‘high wage’.
The government is still to issue orders, probably over the protest of India Inc, its real masters.
